British Coatings Federation publishes roadmap to Net Zero
The roadmap lays out how the BCF and its members aim to reach Net Zero, with projected reductions in scope 1 and 2 emissions of 53 per cent by 2035 and 69 per cent by 2040 as waypoints to measure progress against. It goes on to detail four things that need to happen if the overall target is to be met:
- Increased energy efficiency, including greater use of renewable energy and the development of low-carbon hydrogen.
- Improved resource efficiency, such as the development of new products and technologies including greater uptake of biobased raw materials.
- The development of carbon capture, utilisation and storage networks.
- Intensive supply chain collaboration and engagement, seeking to reduce scope 3 emissions.
